The Bottom Line
Sharing your current authoritative data
through web services with open API will
help make WIS a platform that supports
climate science
SHARING IS GOOD FOR EVERYONE

Improve Planning, Management and Decision Making . . .
. . . Providing Critical Infrastructure
Data Sharing Is Key to This Success
data.gov / geodata.gov
data.gov.uk
Data Clearinghouses Have Improved Access . . .
Use Case: “I want to find data …”
Solution:
• Simple keyword
Search
• Spatial search
• Advanced options
for experts
• Smart matching
and ranking
• Thesaurus Service
• Search results
must be simple to
understand…yet
contain detail for
power users
ESRI Inc (c) 2010
Use Case: “I want to make a map …”
Solution:
• Preview services:
–
–
–
–
–
ArcGIS Server Map Services
ArcIMS Image Services
OGC WMS, SOS
GeoRSS
KML
• Provide integration points for
map viewer platforms
– JavaScript, Flex, Silverlight
– Java ADF viewer as starting
point for domain applications
– ArcGIS Desktop ArcMap
– ArcGIS Explorer
ESRI Inc (c) 2010
Use Case: “I want to download data …”
Solution:
• Provide page
with simple
choices for:
– Selecting area
– Selecting data
– Setting options
– Deliver
download link
through email
– Vector data only
• Based on
Geoprocessing
Service
• Extensible in
Python
ESRI Inc (c) 2010
Use Case: “Is new data is available…?”
Solution:
• User specifies
search criteria
• Give user link to
a GeoRSS feed
• User subscribes
to GeoRSS feed
geoportal
ESRI Inc (c) 2010
Use Case: “I want to share my resource…”
Solution:
• Give user choices for
sharing metadata:
– Register Servers or
Services Directly
– Create metadata online
– Upload metadata
– Register SDI catalog
site for harvesting
• Support metadata
standards:
– INSPIRE
– North American Profile
– Dublin Core

Data Sharing is a Social Activity
•
•
•
•
Sharing starts with agreement and communication
Groups of people with a common interest or goal
Relationships help achieve goals
Invariant to application domain:
– Enterprise, State, Country, Global, Community, …
– Emergency Response, Natural Resources Management, Climate
Change, …

Example: Data.gov
• Data.gov – new initiative to transparent government
• Data.gov looked at building yet another catalog for
data
• Geodata.gov and Data.gov collaborated
• Geodata.gov now supplies Data.gov with 215,000+
downloadable datasets through an OGC Web Service
ESRI Inc (c) 2010
Example: Haiti/Chile Earthquakes
• Emergency response (hours/days):
– Effective delivery of emergency
services and supplies
– All sources of information may help
• Reconstruction (weeks/months):
– Rebuilding of essential services and
infrastructures
– Continuously evolving decentralized
geographic data sources
• Development (months/years):
– Planning, development of services to
support the society
– From an unstructured societal
contribution of observations to a
managed operational framework to
support
